In recent years, a remarkable scientific discovery has been quietly revolutionising our understanding of human health and nutrition. Hidden within our gastrointestinal tract lies a complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome, teeming with a vast array of microorganisms that play a pivotal role in shaping our overall well-being.
The first human genome based on the Sanger technology, a gene sequencing method, occurred in 2001. The Human Genome Project, was a multinational collaboration, that took 13 years to complete, involved hundreds of DNA sequencing machines and cost, approximately between US$0.5-US$1bn.
Across the globe, consortiums, comprised of government, academia, companies from the field of genetics, venture capital and healthcare institutions are collaborating on population-wide genomic projects. Primarily to lay the foundation for precision medicine. Through the derivation of insights obtained from the genomic data of thousands of people across the globe.
